Abstract : This thesis delves into the critical domain of fault tolerance within real-life distributed systems, with a specific emphasis on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). As WSNs continue to proliferate in applications ranging from environmental monitoring to industrial automation, the susceptibility to faults and disruptions necessitates advanced fault tolerance strategies for ensuring system reliability. The primary objective of this research is to comprehensively explore, analyze, and propose effective fault tolerance mechanisms tailored to the unique characteristics and challenges posed by WSNs in practical scenarios. The investigation begins with an in-depth examination of the various types of faults that can afflict WSNs, including node failures, communication errors, and environmental disturbances. Building upon existing fault models, this research proposes novel.

Keywords : WSN,Environmental Disturbances.
